Definition

Number of intervals to be included in formula calculation.

Use

If there are no dependencies between the intervals to be calculated, enter 0 for the number of intervals.

If you need values from previous intervals, enter a number higher than 0 for the number of intervals.

Example

  • You want to define a formula that uses a profile with cumulative values to calculate a profile with balanced values.

    This means that the value from the previous interval must be subtracted from the value from the current interval in each interval in the calculation.

    You enter 1 for the number of intervals for the input parameter of the formula that represent the profile with the cumulative values.

  • You want to define a formula that calculates the integral of all previous periods for each interval of a profile.

    This means that for each interval in the calculation, the current value of the input parameter has to be added to the calculated value in the previous interval.

    You enter 1 for the number of intervals for the output parameter of the formula that represents the profile with the integrated values.
